Hello my Beloved!
Well, I didn't spend our anniversary the way I had wanted to. I have envisioned a nice ride out in the forest of Mammoth Cave, but instead I finished packing up, waited for my final package to arrive, which it did, mercifully, just after 11:00, got the horses loaded in, collected my refund, received the last bit of condescending and unnecessary advice on how to get out of my site without taking out a water spigot (I was driving wreckers before these people were born!), and hit the road by 11:30. I had to stop for fuel since I hadn't gone out while I was there (I usually like to fill up without the trailer for simplicity's sake), but fortunately there was a Love's truck stop right along the way. It was only about two hours, but there was a time change, back to Eastern time (well, Indiana doesn't do Daylight Savings). I arrived and checked out the two campsites I thought would work, and it turned out I didn't particularly like either on, so I picked a third one and proceed to park. For some reason I had a bit of trouble getting in, narrow drive, a little short, a tree stump I had to avoid in back, not very level in any direction, but I finally got it done. I got the horses out about halfway through that exercise because it was taking too long, then finally got it leveled off with boards to level it side-to-side, and the front so high I maxed out the jacks and still wasn't quite level. The bottom of the front skirting is about 6 inches off the ground, it's that high! At least I won't be bumping my head like I was at Natchez Trace where I had the opposite problem. Once I disconnected I drove back and paid for the site, their prices are a bit steeper than I remember, but it will be worth it. The site has a water spigot across the road, a manure dump almost behind us, and the bathhouse not too far away (not that I need that), so it's fairly convenient to everything. I'm a bit further away from the lake that I've been before, but not so far I can't walk down with Lola and throw for her, though not today, too tired. There's only a couple of other campers here at the moment, but it looks like it will be busy this weekend. I put down the mat and got out the furniture, but the wind was blowing so much, plus I was reaching the end of my energy, I decided to wait on the screen room until tomorrow. I have a bunch of little jobs to do on the trailer tomorrow, I'm hoping to get those done early and maybe go for a ride in the afternoon. The breeze is a cold front coming through, supposed to get down to 59 tonight, and I'm loving these cooler temps! Tired of the 90's. Had a sandwich for dinner, not exactly anniversary fare, but it's all I had the energy for, I'm fading fast. I guess it was good that we never made that big a deal out of holidays, but I am feeling the loss of not having you here for our anniversary. I love you, darling, forever and ever, but you always knew that, didn't you? Good night, my sweet!
